Abstract

Student engagement refers to the level of focus, curiosity, enthusiasm, optimism, and passion during learning or instruction is referred to as their level of student engagement. This study aims to investigate the mediating role of social participation on the relationship between motivational strategies and student engagement among college students. This study utilized quantitative, non-experimental descriptive correlational research design, and mediation analysis with 353 samples of college students. This study used stratified random sampling techniques. The statistical tools used in this study were mean, pearson r and path analysis. Data was collected from respondents using adapted survey instruments, which were verified for content validity. The study’s findings demonstrated that social participation, motivational strategies and student engagement have a descriptive level of high. Furthermore, there was significant partial mediation between social participation, motivational strategies and student engagement. The connection between motivational strategies and student engagement in college was partially explained by the level of social participation. The result was that students who engage with their peers were more likely to participate in social activities. If students are motivated and engaged in general, they'll participate in even more social activities.
